Story
My name is Lil Tux and I a sweet little boy kitten that was born to a wonderful momma cat that was originally found as a pregnant stray.  We are one of the litter of kittens that made the miracle of being born inside a warm and clean foster home and not outside in the woods or under a shed.  They say that I am the cutest little guy with my handsome black and white color with a handsome set of white feet and a hard to miss white blaze up the center of my face.  I am intensely interested in life and playing and also loving on my humans that come around.  I have been around other cats, dogs and different humans. I am social and fun and ready to have my own family to play with and love.  If you are interested, I am ready to pack my bags.   Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell them where you live and that you want an application to adopt Lil Tux….that truly handsome little dude.July 6, 2024, 10:59 pm

Story
My name is Big lil Greyboy, and I have had an interesting start to life as my momma was lucky enough to be taking in while she was pregnant and we were born inside a foster home. Me and my fun-loving siblings were born safely inside and we have been safe ever since with all the best of care, food, and cuddly time with our foster. I love to play and I love to sleep and I love to explore. I am not shy and I'm very sweet to all the people that want to love on me. If you were interested in adopting, me I am interested in having your application sent back to Critter Cavalry Rescue. Please email them and ask for one at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.

He would love to join a human home with a variety of windows to expand the variety of screen time opportunities.This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!
